Sponsor A Child Through Secondary School
Possibly the best chance of empowering children and young people, enabling them to change their lives for the better, is to provide them with the basic elements of education.
While primary education is free in Malawi, unfortunately secondary school education costs. Many young people at Samalani miss out on continuing their education because of this.
